The Best prime rib leftover recipe

I’m so excited to share with you one of my favorite leftover recipes – prime rib! It’s a classic dish that never fails to impress, and the best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make and can be enjoyed for days after the initial roast.

I first discovered this recipe when I was a young mom, trying to figure out how to stretch my holiday budget while still serving up a show-stopping main course. My kids were (and still are) picky eaters, but they loved helping me prepare the prime rib, and they’d always request it for special occasions.

As I got older, I realized that this recipe was not just a treat for holidays, but it was also an amazing way to feed my family on busy weeknights when I had no time to cook from scratch. The key to this recipe is in the slow cooking process, which allows the meat to tenderize and absorb all the flavors of the seasonings.

The result is a dish that’s both elegant and comforting at the same time. Over the years, I’ve experimented with different seasonings and marinades, but the basic technique remains the same – slow cooking yields a rich, flavorful sauce that’s simply divine.

My family loves it when I serve this with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, but honestly, it’s just as delicious on its own. The health benefits of prime rib are undeniable – it’s high in protein, low in carbs, and packed with vitamins and minerals from the vegetables we serve alongside it.

And let’s not forget about the leftovers – they’re just as tasty reheated for days after! In fact, I often find myself looking forward to these leftovers more than the initial meal itself.

🥘Ingredients

For the Hash

2 cups leftover prime rib, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cups cooked potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Eggs

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳Directions

1Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2Add the diced potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for 4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
3Add the diced onion to the skillet and stir to combine with the potatoes.
4Continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the potatoes are evenly browned.
5Add the diced prime rib, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to the skillet.
6Stir gently to incorporate and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the meat is heated through and the edges are slightly crisp.
7Remove from heat and keep warm.
8In a separate small non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foaming.
9Crack each egg into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny, or longer for a firmer yolk.

📝Notes

For extra flavor, add a handful of fresh spinach or a dash of hot sauce to the hash just before serving. Leftover roasted vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms also work well in this dish.

This prime rib leftover recipe is always a good idea because it turns expensive leftovers into a whole new meal that feels special. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a lazy weekend breakfast, and it works great for family gatherings when you want something hearty and satisfying.

I love that it uses simple ingredients and comes together in under 30 minutes. For storage, keep the hash in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To reheat, just put it in a hot skillet with a little oil to get the crispy edges back. You can also serve it with a fried egg or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.

This recipe never fails to make my family smile, and I hope it does the same for yours.
